Cinderella with a twist! The classic opera La Cenerentola tells a story of empowerment and virtue against the backdrop of the classic Cinderella narrative.
In this version, we follow the kind-hearted Cenerentola who lives as a maid under the harsh rule of her cruel stepsisters, Clorinda and Tisbe, and scheming stepfather Don Magnifico. Fate intervenes when she encounters Prince Ramiro, disguised as a servant. Captivated by her innate goodness, the Prince’s heart is won over by her gentle spirit.
Through clever disguises and hilarious scenes, the characters go on a journey that highlights the triumph of kindness and forgiveness over adversity. La Cenerentola is a magical experience, perfect for the whole family, blending romance and comedy in a spellbinding performance.

Recent Highlights
Description
H.M.S. Pinafore was the show that began it all for G&S. Sullivan’s beautiful music paired with the clever wordplay of Gilbert produced many classics of the music theatre stage, but none more audience pleasing than this early collaboration. Nowadays, the very mention of the names Gilbert and Sullivan evoke the memory of such shows as The Pirates of Penzance, The Mikado, and Iolanthe. But it all started here!
With all the topsy-turvy storytelling and wordplay you can handle, this high-seas operetta is all high-jinks and good times for the whole family!
